The present invention relates to BET protein-inhibitory, in particular BRD4-inhibitory substituted phenyl-2,3-benzodiazepines, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds according to the invention and to their prophylactic and therapeutic use for hyperproliferative disorders, in particular for tumour disorders. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of BET protein inhibitors for benign hyperplasias, atherosclerotic disorders, sepsis, autoimmune disorders, vascular disorders, viral infections, for neurodegenerative disorders, for inflammatory disorders, for atherosclerotic disorders and for the control of male fertility.

The human BET family (bromodomain and extra C-terminal domain family) has four members (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT), which contain two related bromodomains and one extraterminal domain (Wu and Chiang, J. Biol. Chem., 2007 282:13141-13145). The bromodomains are protein regions that recognize acetylated lysine residues. These acetylated lysines are often found at the N-terminal end of histones (e.g. histone 3 or histone 4) and are characteristic features of an open chromatin structure and active gene transcription (Kuo and Allis, Bioessays, 1998, 20:615-626). The various acetylation patterns recognized by BET proteins in histones were studied in detail (Umehara et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2010, 285:7610-7618; Filippakopoulos et al., Cell, 2012, 149:214-231). In addition, bromodomains can recognize other acetylated proteins. For example, BRD4 binds to RelA, which leads to stimulation of NF-κB and transcriptional activity of inflammatory genes (Huang et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2009, 29:1375-1387; Zhang et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2012, 287: 28840-28851; Zou el al., Oncogene, 2013, doi: 10.1038/onc.2013.179). The extraterminal domain of BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4 interacts with several proteins having a role in chromatin modulation and regulation of gene expression (Rahman et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2011, 31:2641-2652).

Mechanistically BET proteins play an important role in cell growth and in the cell cycle. They are associated with mitotic chromosomes, suggesting a role in epigenetic memory (Dey et al., Mol. Biol. Cell, 2009, 20:4899-4909; Yang et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2008, 28:967-976). BRD4 is important for the post-mitotic reactivation of gene transcription (Zhao et al., Nat. Cell. Biol., 2011, 13:1295-1304). It has been shown that BRD4 is essential for transcription elongation and for recruting the elongation complex P-TEFb, which consists of CDK9 and cyclin T1, resulting in activation of RNA polymerase II (Yang et al., Mol. Cell, 2005, 19:535-545; Schroder et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2012, 287:1090-1099). As a consequence, the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation such as, for example, c-Myc and aurora B, is stimulated (You et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2009, 29:5094-5103; Zuber et al., Nature, 2011, 478:524-528). BRD2 and BRD3 bind to transcribed genes in hyperacetylated chromatin regions and promote transcription by RNA polymerase II (LeRoy et al., Mol. Cell, 2008, 30:51-60).

The knock-down of BRD4 or the inhibition of the interaction with acetylated histones in various cell lines leads to G1 arrest and to cell death by apoptosis (Mochizuki et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2008, 283:9040-9048; Mertz et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2011, 108:16669-16674). It has also been shown that BRD4 binds to promoter regions of several genes that are activated in the G1 phase, for example cyclin D1 and D2 (Mochizuki et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2008, 283:9040-9048). In addition, after BRD4 inhibition, inhibition of the expression of c-Myc, an essential factor in cell proliferation, was demonstrated (Dawson et al., Nature, 2011, 478:529-533; Delmore et al., Cell, 2011, 146:1-14; Mertz et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2011, 108:16669-16674). BRD2 and BRD4 knockout mice die early during embryogenesis (Gyuris et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 2009, 1789:413-421; Houzelstein et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2002, 22:3794-3802). Heterozygous BRD4 mice have various growth defects, which can be attributed to reduced cellular proliferation (Houzelstein et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 2002, 22:3794-3802).

BET proteins play an important role in various types of tumours. Fusion between the BET proteins BRD3 or BRD4 and NUT, a protein that normally is only expressed in the testis, leads to an aggressive form of squamous cell carcinoma, called NUT midline carcinoma (French, Cancer Genet. Cytogenet., 2010, 203:16-20). The fusion protein prevents cellular differentiation and promotes proliferation (Yan et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2011, 286:27663-27675; Grayson et al., 2013, doi: 10-1038/onc.2013.126). The growth of in vivo models derived therefrom is inhibited by a BRD4-inhibitor (Filippakopoulos et al., Nature, 2010, 468:1067-1073). Screening for therapeutic targets in an acute myeloid leukaemia cell line (AML) showed that BRD4 plays an important role in this tumour (Zuber et al., Nature, 2011, doi:10.1038). The reduction of BRD4 expression leads to selective arrest of the cell cycle and to apoptosis. Treatment with a BRD4-inhibitor prevents the proliferation of an AML xenograft in vivo. Amplification of the DNA region that contains the BRD4 gene was detected in primary breast tumours (Kadota et al., Cancer Res, 2009, 69:7357-7365). There are also data for BRD2 regarding a role in tumours. A transgenic mouse that overexpresses BRD2 selectively in B cells develops B cell lymphomas and leukaemias (Greenwall et al., Blood, 2005, 103:1475-1484).

BET proteins are also involved in viral infections. BRD4 binds to the E2 protein of various papilloma viruses and is important for the survival of the viruses in latently infected cells (Wu et al., Genes Dev., 2006, 20:2383-2396; Vosa et al., J. Virol., 2012, 86:348-357; McBride and Jang, Viruses, 2013, 5:1374-1394). The herpes virus that is responsible for Kaposi's sarcoma also interacts with various BET proteins, which is important for disease resistance (Viejo-Borbolla et al., J. Virol., 2005, 79:13618-13629; You et al., J. Virol., 2006, 80:8909-8919). By binding to P-TEFb, BRD4 also plays an important role in HIV replication (Bisgrove et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 2007, 104:13690-13695).

BET proteins are in addition involved in inflammatory processes. BRD2-hypomorphic mice display reduced inflammation in fat tissue (Wang et al., Biochem. J., 2009, 425:71-83). The infiltration of macrophages in white fat tissue is also reduced in BRD2-deficient mice (Wang et al., Biochem. J., 2009, 425:71-83). It has also been shown that BRD4 regulates a number of genes that are involved in inflammation. In LPS-stimulated macrophages, a BRD4-inhibitor prevents the expression of inflammatory genes, for example IL-1 or IL-6 (Nicodeme et al., Nature, 2010, 468:1119-1123).

BET proteins also regulate the expression of the ApoA1 gene which plays an important role in atherosclerosis and in inflammatory processes (Chung et al., J. Med. Chem, 2011, 54:3827-3838). Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is a main component of high density lipoproteins (HDL), and an elevated expression of ApoA1 leads to increased blood cholesterol levels (Degoma and Rader, Nat. Rev. Cardiol., 2011, 8:266-277). Increased HDL levels are associated with a reduced risk of atherosclerosis (Chapman et al., Eur. Heart J., 2011, 32:1345-1361).

PRIOR ART

The nomenclature used for looking at the structural prior art is illustrated by the figure below:

Based on the chemical structure, only very few types of BRD4 inhibitors have been described to date (Chun-Wa Chung et al., Progress in Medicinal Chemistry 2012, 51, 1-55). The first BRD4 inhibitors published were phenylthienotriazolo-1,4-diazepines (4-phenyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines) as described in WO2009/084693 (Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation) and with the compound JQ1 in WO2011/143669 (Dana Farber Cancer Institute). Replacement of the thieno moiety by a benzo moiety also led to activated inhibitors (J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 3827-3838; E. Nicodeme et al., Nature 2010, 468, 1119). These and one further publication show that the pyrazole moiety condensed to the 1,4-benzodiazepine or thieno-1,4-diazepine ring system is actively involved in the binding of the target protein BRD4 (P. Filippakopoulos et al., Nature 2010, 468, 1067). Further 4-phenyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines and related compounds having alternative rings as fusion partners instead of the benzo moiety are addressed in a general manner or directly described in WO2012/075456 (Constellation Pharmaceuticals). WO2012/075383 (Constellation Pharmaceuticals) describes 6-substituted 4H-isoxazolo[5,4-d][2]benzazepines and 4H-isoxazolo[3,4-d][2]benzazepines including compounds having an optionally substituted phenyl in position 6 as BRD4 inhibitors, and also analogues having alternative heterocyclic fusion partners instead of the benzo moiety, e.g. thieno- or pyridoazepines.

7-Isoxazolochinolines and related chinolone derivatives are described as another structural class of BRD4 inhibitors (WO2011/054843, Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 22 (2012) 2963-2967, GlaxoSmithKline).

WO94/26718 and EP0703222A1 (Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Industries) described substituted 3-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-ones or the corresponding 2-thiones and analogues in which the benzo unit is replaced by alternative monocyclic systems and in which the 2-ketone or the 2-thione may, together with the substituted nitrogen atom of the azepine ring, form a heterocycle, as CCK and gastrin antagonists for the therapy of disorders of the CNS such as anxiety and depressions, and also of disorders of the pancreas and of gastrointestinal ulcers. Ligands of the gastrin and the cholecystokinin receptor are described in WO2006/051312 (James Black Foundation). They also include substituted 3,5-dihydro-4H-2,3-benzodiazepin-4-ones which differ from the compounds according to the invention mainly by the obligatory oxo group in position 4 and by an obligatory carbonyl group-carrying alkyl chain in position 5. Finally, substituted 3,5-dihydro-4H-2,3-benzodiazepin-4-ones are likewise described as AMPA antagonists in WO97/34878 (Cocensys Inc.). In spite of a very broad general claim with respect to the possible substitution patterns at the benzodiazepine skeleton, the working examples are limited to a very narrow section.

Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide novel compounds having prophylactic and therapeutic properties.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds for prophylactic and therapeutic use for hyperproliferative disorders, in particular for tumour disorders, and also as BET protein inhibitors for viral infections, for neurodegenerative disorders, for inflammatory disorders, for atherosclerotic disorders and for the control of male fertility.

The compounds according to the invention are novel phenyl-2,3-benzodiazepines (1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines) and heteroaryl-2,3-benzodiazepines (1-heteroaryl-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines) which, at the benzodiazepine skeleton, are not condensed with a second heterocyclic unit, specifically an isoxazole or triazole, and, surprisingly, are still BRD4 inhibitors. Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention differ from known 2,3-benzodiazepines such as the numerous published AMPA antagonists (WO0198280, Annovis Inc.; WO 9728135, Schering AG; for a review see Med. Res. Rev. 2007, 27(2), 239-278) or from analogous diazepines where the benzo moiety is replaced by another monocyclic moiety, by their substitution pattern at the phenyl group or at the benzo moiety or another monocyclic moiety: at least one substituent at the phenyl group or at the benzo group is cyclic ((hetero)aromatic, (hetero)cyclic) or is novel at the position in question, such as trifluoromethoxy or alkylaminosulphonylphenyl at the benzo moiety. The compounds according to the invention also differ from the known psychopharmacological 2,3-benzodiazepine derivatives which are inhibitors of the adenosine transporter and the MT2 receptor (WO2008/124075, Teva Pharm).

The prior art compounds which are closest in terms of structure have not been disclosed in connection with the prophylaxis and therapy of tumour disorders.

Using the prior art described above as a starting point, there was no reason to modify the structures of the prior art in a manner to obtain structures suitable for the prophylaxis and therapy of tumour disorders.

Compounds according to the invention are the compounds of the formula (I) and their salts, solvates and solvates of the salts, the compounds included in the formula (I) of the formulae mentioned in the following and their salts, solvates and solvates of the salts, and the compounds included in the formula (I) and mentioned in the following as embodiment examples and their salts, solvates and solvates of the salts, where the compounds included in the formula (I) and mentioned in the following are not already salts, solvates and solvates of the salts.

The present invention likewise embraces the use of the salts of the compounds according to the invention.

In the context of the present invention, preferred salts are physiologically acceptable salts of the compounds according to the invention. However, salts which for their part are not suitable for pharmaceutical applications but which can be used, for example, for isolating and purifying the compounds according to the invention are also included.

Physiologically acceptable salts of the compounds according to the invention include acid addition salts of mineral acids, carboxylic acids and sulphonic acids, e.g. salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulphonic acid, ethanesulphonic acid, toluenesulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid, naphthalenedisulphonic acid, acetic acid, trifluorooacetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, and benzoic acid.

Physiologically acceptable salts of the compounds according to the invention furthermore embrace, for example, base addition salts, for example of alkali metals such as sodium or potassium, of alkaline earth metals such as calcium or magnesium, or of ammonium salts derived from ammonia or organic amines containing 1 to 16 carbon atoms, such as, for example, methylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethyldiisopropylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, dimethylaminoethanol, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-methylmorpholine, arginine, lysine, ethylenediamine, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylglucamine, dimethylglucamine, ethylglucamine, 1,6-hexadiamine, glucosamine, sarcosine, serinol, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, aminopropanediol, Sovak base, and/or 1-amino-2,3,4-butanetriol. Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention can form base addition salts with quarternary ammonium ions which can be obtained, for example, by quarternization of appropriate amines with agents such as lower alkyl halides, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, dialkyl sulphates such as dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl and diamyl sulphate, long-chain halides such as decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, or arylalkyl halides such as benzyl bromide or phenethyl bromide. Examples of such quarternary ammonium ions are tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetra(n-propyl)ammonium, tetra(n-butyl)ammonium, and also benzyltrimethylammonium.

The present invention furthermore provides all possible crystalline and polymorphic forms of the compounds according to the invention, the polymorphs being present either as individual polymorphs or as a mixture of a plurality of polymorphs in any concentration ranges.

The present invention furthermore provides medicaments comprising the compounds according to the invention and at least one or more other active compounds, in particular for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of tumour disorders.

Solvates in the context of the invention are designated as those forms of the compounds according to the invention which form a complex in the solid or liquid state by coordination with solvent molecules. Hydrates are a specific form of solvates, in which the coordination takes place with water. Hydrates are preferred solvates in the context of the present invention.

The compounds according to the invention can exist in different stereoisomeric forms depending on their structure, i.e. in the form of configuration isomers or optionally also as conformation isomers. At position 4, the compounds according to the invention have a centre of asymmetry. They can therefore be present as pure enantiomers, racemates or else as diastereomers or mixtures thereof if one or more of the substituents described in formula (I) comprises a further asymmetric element, for example an achiral carbon atom. The present invention therefore also includes the enantiomers and diastereomers and their particular mixtures. The stereoisomerically uniform constituents can be isolated from such mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereomers in a known manner; chromatography processes are preferably used for this, in particular HPLC chromatography on an achiral or chiral phase.

In general, the enantiomers according to the invention inhibit the target with different potency and have different activity in the cancer cell lines investigated. The more active enantiomer, which is frequently the 4S enantiomer, is preferred.

Where the compounds according to the invention can occur in tautomeric forms, the present invention includes all the tautomeric forms.

The present invention also encompasses all suitable isotopic variants of the compounds according to the invention. An isotopic variant of a compound according to the invention is understood here to mean a compound in which at least one atom within the compound according to the invention has been exchanged for another atom of the same atomic number, but with a different atomic mass than the atomic mass which usually or predominantly occurs in nature. Examples of isotopes which can be incorporated into a compound according to the invention are those of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, such as ²H (deuterium), ³H (tritium), ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, 18O, ³²F, ³³F, ³³S, ³⁴S, ³⁵S, ³⁶S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁹I and ¹³¹I. Particular isotopic variants of a compound according to the invention, especially those in which one or more radioactive isotopes have been incorporated, may be beneficial, for example, for the examination of the mechanism of action or of the active compound distribution in the body; due to comparatively easy preparability and detectability, especially compounds labelled with ³H or ¹⁴C isotopes are suitable for this purpose. In addition, the incorporation of isotopes, for example of deuterium, can lead to particular therapeutic benefits as a consequence of greater metabolic stability of the compound, for example an extension of the half-life in the body or a reduction in the active dose required; such modifications of the compounds according to the invention may therefore in some cases also constitute a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Isotopic variants of the compounds according to the invention can be prepared by generally used processes known to those skilled in the art, for example by the methods described below and the methods described in the working examples, by using corresponding isotopic modifications of the particular reagents and/or starting compounds therein.

The present invention moreover also includes prodrugs of the compounds according to the invention. The term “prodrugs” here designates compounds which themselves can be biologically active or inactive, but are converted (for example metabolically or hydrolytically) into compounds according to the invention during their dwell time in the body.

The compounds according to the invention can act systemically and/or locally. For this purpose, they can be administered in a suitable manner, such as, for example, orally, parenterally, pulmonarily, nasally, sublingually, lingually, buccally, rectally, dermally, transdermally, conjunctivally, otically, as or as an implant or stent.

For these administration routes, the compounds according to the invention can be administered in suitable administration forms.

Suitable for oral administration are administration forms working according to the prior art, which release the compounds according to the invention rapidly and/or in modified form and comprise the compounds according to the invention in crystalline and/or amorphized and/or dissolved form, such as, for example, tablets (non-coated or coated tablets, for example coated with enteric, slowly dissolving or insoluble coats which control the release of the compound according to the invention), tablets which decompose rapidly in the oral cavity or films/wafers, films/lyophylizates, capsules (for example hard gelatin capsules or soft gelatin capsules), sugar-coated tablets, granules, pellets, powders, emulsions, suspensions, aerosols or solutions.

Parenteral administration can take place with circumvention of an absorption step (for example intravenous, intraarterial, intracardiac, intraspinal or intralumbar) or with involvement of an absorption (for example intramuscular, subcutaneous, intracutaneous, percutaneous or intraperitoneal). For parenteral administration, suitable administration forms are, inter alia, injection and infusion preparations in the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, lyophilizates or sterile powders.

Suitable for the other administration routes are, for example, pharmaceutical forms for inhalation (inter alia powder inhalers, nebulizers), nasal drops, nasal solutions, nasal sprays; tablets, films/wafers or capsules to be applied lingually, sublingually or buccally, suppositories, ear or eye preparations, vaginal capsules, aqueous suspensions (lotions, shake lotions), lipophilic suspensions, ointments, creams, transdermal therapeutic systems (such as, for example, patches), milk, pastes, foams, dusting powders, implants or stents.

The compounds according to the invention can be converted into the administration forms mentioned. This may take place in a manner known per se by mixing with inert non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliaries. These auxiliaries include, inter alia, carriers (for example microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, mannitol), solvents (for example liquid polyethylene glycols), emulsifiers and dispersants or wetting agents (for example sodium dodecylsulphate, polyoxysorbitan oleate), binders (for example polyvinylpyrrolidone), synthetic and natural polymers (for example albumin), stabilizers (e.g. antioxidants such as, for example, ascorbic acid), colorants (e.g. inorganic pigments such as, for example, iron oxides) and taste and/or odour corrigents.

The present invention furthermore provides medicaments comprising the compounds according to the invention, usually together with one or more inert non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable auxiliaries, and their use for the purposes mentioned above.

Formulation of the compounds according to the invention to give pharmaceutical products takes place in a manner known per se by converting the active compound(s) with the excipients customary in pharmaceutical technology into the desired administration form.

Auxiliaries which can be employed in this connection are, for example, carrier substances, fillers, disintegrants, binders, humectants, lubricants, absorbents and adsorbents, diluents, solvents, cosolvents, emulsifiers, solubilizers, masking flavours, colorants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, salts to alter the osmotic pressure or buffers. Reference should be made in this connection to Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 15th ed. Mack Publishing Company, East Pennsylvania (1980).

The pharmaceutical formulations may be

in solid form, for example as tablets, coated tablets, pills, suppositories, capsules, transdermal systems or in semisolid form, for example as ointments, creams, gels, suppositories, emulsions or in liquid form, for example as solutions, tinctures, suspensions or emulsions.

Auxiliaries in the context of the invention may be, for example, salts, saccharides (mono-, di-, tri-, oligo-, and/or polysaccharides), proteins, amino acids, peptides, fats, waxes, oils, hydrocarbons and derivatives thereof, where the auxiliaries may be of natural origin or may be obtained by synthesis or partial synthesis.

Suitable for Oral or Peroral Administration are in Particular Tablets, Coated Tablets, Capsules, Pills, Powders, Granules, Pastilles, Suspensions, Emulsions or Solutions.

Suitable for parenteral administration are in particular suspensions, emulsions and especially solutions.

Synthesis Routes for Preparing the Compounds of the General Formula (I)

The schemes and general operating procedures below illustrate the general synthetic access to the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention, without the synthesis of the compounds according to the invention being limited to these.

4,5-Dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines of the general formula (I) can be prepared analogously to processes described in the literature. Depending on the substituents present, protective group strategies may be required; however, these are generally known to the person skilled in the art. Scheme 1 describes the synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines employing a 3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzopyran intermediate (III), where A, n and the radicals R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R⁴ and R⁵ have the meanings given in general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1c). Corresponding approaches are described, for example, in F. Gatta et al. Il Farmaco—Ed. Sc. 1985, 40, 942 and in WO2008124075 or W0200198280.

The aldehydes used are commercially available, and/or their preparation is known to the person skilled in the art. R^(1a) and R^(1b) can also be introduced at a later stage of the synthesis, as described, for example, in Schemes 5a, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11.

The 1-aryl-2-propanols (II) are either commercially available or are prepared in a manner generally known to the person skilled in the art by reduction of the corresponding ketones (IIa), e.g. by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride in THF.

This synthesis route is preferably used for electron-rich substituted arylpropanols (II) (e.g. with alkoxy).

3,4-Dihydro-1H-2-benzopyrans (III) are obtained by condensation of the 1-aryl-2-propanols (II) with aromatic or heteroaromatic aldeydes under acidic conditions. The reaction is preferably carried out at elevated temperature (about 100° C.) in hydrogen chloride-containing dioxane in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride. Further conversion of the 3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzopyrans (III) can be by various routes:

Oxidative ring opening using chromium(VI) oxide/sulphuric acid affords the diketone (IV), which can be cyclized with hydrazine to give the 4-methyl-1-aryl-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine or 4-methyl-1-heteroaryl-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine (V) (cf. U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,863). Reduction, e.g. with sodium cyanoborohydride (Synthetic Communications, 2002, 32, 527), then yield the desired 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine derivative (VI).

Oxidation with atmospheric oxygen affords the 1-aryl-3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzopyran-1-ol or 1-heteroaryl-3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzopyran-1-ol (VII) which can be reacted with elimination of water using H₂NNHBoc to give the corresponding hydrazone derivative (VIII). This can be cyclized by mesylation and subsequent treatment with base to give the Boc-protected 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine derivative (IX), which for its part can be converted by acidic deprotection in a generally known manner into the corresponding 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine derivative (VI).

Scheme 2 describes the synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines from indanones (X).

A, n and the radicals R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R⁴ and R⁵ in Scheme 2 have the meanings given for the general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1e).

The indanone (X) can be converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-1H-indene or 3-heteroaryl-1H-indene (XII). To this end, use may be made of the following processes:

-   -   The indanone derivative (X) can, for example, be converted in a         generally known manner into the corresponding enol nonaflate         (XI), and then be converted by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki         coupling with the appropriate boronic acid derivatives into         indene (XII).     -   The indanone derivative (X) can be converted by addition of         organomagnesium reagents in a generally known manner into the         corresponding indanols (XIII) which, by acid-catalyzed         elimination, readily form the corresponding indenes (XII).

The 3-aryl-1H-indenes or 3-heteroaryl-1H-indenes (XII) can be converted by oxidative methods, e.g. with ruthenium(III) chloride/sodium periodate (Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2011, 21, 2554), into the corresponding diketones (IV). These can be converted analogously to Scheme 1 into the corresponding 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine derivatives (VI).

The indanones (X) used for preparing the working examples are either commercially available or can be prepared as shown, for example, in Scheme 3, where the radicals R², R⁴ and R⁵ have the meanings given for general formula (I).

From the appropriate aromatic aldehydes (XIV), using processes known from the literature e.g. via Perkin reaction (Medicinal Chemistry Research, 2004, Vol. 13, 660) or Wittig reaction (Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2001, Vol. 66, 3682), it is possible to prepare the 2-methyl-3-arylpropanoic acids (XVIII). These can be cyclized for example with chlorosulphonic acid or polyphosphoric acid to give the corresponding indanones (X) (cf. Synthesis 2009, 627 and Org. Process Res. Dev. 2011, 15, 570-580, J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 1316 and Bioorg. Med. Chem. Left. 2011, 21, 2554-2558). Scheme 4 illustrates the preparation of the exemplary compounds according to the invention starting from 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines (VI) by means of generally known reactions, e.g. with acid chlorides, anhydrides, chloroformates or isocyanates or isothiocyanates, where A, n and the radicals R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴ and R⁵ have the meanings given for general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1c). The corresponding alkylureas (XIX) can also be obtained by reacting a reactive intermediate such as the 4-nitrophenyl carbamate with alkylamines.

R^(1a), R⁴ and R⁵ can also be introduced at a later stage of the synthesis, for example as described in Schemes 5a, 5b, 5c, 6, 8, 9 and 11.

The radicals R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, and A and n in Scheme 5a have the meanings given for general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1c).

In scheme 5a, R^(1a) represents, for example, a phenyl radical or a monocyclic heteroaryl radical which has 5 or 6 ring atoms as defined for R^(1a) in general formula (I), or represents an amino radical, in particular represents a monocyclic heterocyclyl radical which has 3 to 8 ring atoms, as defined for R^(1a) in general formula (I), with the proviso that it is attached to the remainder of the molecule via a nitrogen atom located in the heterocycle.

The radicals R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R³, R⁵, and A and n in Scheme 5b have the meanings given for general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1c).

In Scheme 5b, R⁴ represents, for example, a phenyl radical or a monocyclic heteroaryl radical which has 5 or 6 ring atoms as defined for R⁴ in general formula (I), or represents an amino radical, in particular represents a monocyclic heterocyclyl radical which has 3 to 8 ring atoms, as defined for R⁴ in general formula (I), with the proviso that it is attached to the remainder of the molecule via a nitrogen atom located in the heterocycle.

The radicals R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴, and A and n in Scheme 5c have the meanings given for general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1c).

In Scheme 5c, R⁵ represents, for example, a phenyl radical or a monocyclic heteroaryl radical which has 5 or 6 ring atoms as defined for R⁵ in general formula (I), or represents an amino radical, in particular represents a monocyclic heterocyclyl radical which has 3 to 8 ring atoms, as defined for R⁵ in general formula (I), with the proviso that it is attached to the remainder of the molecule via a nitrogen atom located in the heterocycle.

Schemes 5a, 5b and 5c illustrate the preparation of working examples which can be prepared by palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions known to the person skilled in the art, for example from bromine-substituted aryl- or heteroaryl derivatives (XXI, XXIIIa and XXIIIb) by reaction with the appropriate boronic acid derivatives (Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 2457-2483; Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2002), 41(22), 4176-4211) or amines. The intermediates XXI, XXIIIa and XXIIIb can be prepared analogously to the synthesis routes shown.

Boronic acid derivatives are commercially available or can be prepared in a generally known manner. The preparation of the exemplary compounds according to the invention by reaction with amines is carried out, for example, by reaction under Buchwald-Hartwig conditions (Journal of Organometallic Chemistry (1999), 576(1-2), 125-146).

Alternatively and for example for A=phenyl, corresponding pyrazole derivatives (XXVI) (cf. US200419045) or morpholine derivatives (XXVII) (cf. US2006199804) can also be prepared from aniline derivatives by methods known from the literature, as shown in Scheme 6.

The radicals R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, and A and n in Scheme 6 have the meanings given for general formula (I), where (R^(1b))_(n) can also synonymously represent R^(1b) and R^(1c).

Scheme 7 illustrates the synthesis of working examples which can be prepared by brominations, known in general to the person skilled in the art, of compounds of the formula XXVIII (Synth. Commun. 1993, 23, 855). In the stated compounds of the formula XXVIII, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, n and also A have the definitions indicated in the general formula (I), and Hetcyc represents a monocyclic heterocyclyl radical having 3 to 8 ring atoms, as defined in the general formula (I) for R^(1a), with the proviso that this radical is bonded to the rest of the molecule via a nitrogen atom present in the heterocyclic structure. The resulting brominated working examples of the formula XXIX can be converted by methods known from the literature (Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis 2011, 777; Journal of the American Chemical Society 2003, 2890; US 2009/62541) into the corresponding cyano compounds of the formula XXX. The intermediates of the formula XXVIII that are used here can be prepared by the synthesis methods described above.

Scheme 8 illustrates the preparation of working examples which, starting from brominated intermediates of the formula XXIa, in which R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, A and n have the definitions indicated in the general formula (I), it also being possible for (R^(1b))_(n), synonymously, to represent R^(1b) and R^(1c), can be converted by methods known to the person skilled in the art, as for example by palladium-catalysed reaction with carbon dioxide (European Journal of Organic Chemistry 2000, 2253), to carboxylic acid derivatives of the formula XXXI. These in turn can then be converted in analogy to methods known from the literature into the corresponding oxadiazole derivatives of the formulae XXXII and XXXIII (Tetrahedron 2009, 65, 9989; Tetrahedron Letters 2006, 4827; Tetrahedron 2009, 9989). The intermediates of the formula XXIa that are used here can be prepared with the synthesis methods described above.

Scheme 9 illustrates the preparation of working examples which can be converted by copper-catalysed coupling reactions known in general to the person skilled in the art (see J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 7727; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 7421), starting for example from brominated intermediates of the formula XXIIIc, in which R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R³, R⁵, A and also n have the definitions indicated in the general formula (I), it also being possible for (R^(1b))_(n), synonymously, to represent R^(1b) and R^(1c), and also from compounds of the formula XXIa, in which R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, A and also n have the definitions indicated in the general formula (I), it also being possible for (R^(1b))_(n), synonymously, to represent R^(1b) and R^(1c), by reaction with amides or carbamates, into the corresponding coupled derivatives of the formulae XXXIV, in which R⁴ represents an optionally cyclic carboxamide or carbamate bonded via a nitrogen atom, and XXXV, in which, again, R^(1a) represents an optionally cyclic carboxamide or carbamate bonded via a nitrogen atom. The intermediates of the formulae XXIIIc and XXIa that are used here can be prepared with the synthesis methods described above.

Scheme 10 illustrates the preparation of inventive example compounds, starting from dimethoxy-substituted 4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepines of the formula XXXVI, in which R^(1a), R^(1b), R², R³, A and n have the definitions indicated in the general formula (I), it also being possible for (R^(1b))_(n), synonymously, to represent R^(1b) and R^(1c), by means of reactions that are general knowledge, for example with boron tribromide (Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2012, 2827), to give the corresponding dihydroxy derivatives of the formula XXXVII, which can in turn be converted using suitable alkylating agents into the corresponding ether derivatives XXXVIII, in which R⁴ and R⁵ represent optionally substituted alkoxy radicals (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2000, 3244). The intermediates of the formula XXXVI that are used here can be prepared with the synthesis methods described above.

As shown in Scheme 11, starting from brominated intermediates of the formula XXIa, in which R^(1b), R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, A and n have the definitions indicated in the general formula (I), it also being possible for (R¹)_(n), synonymously, to represent R^(1b) and R^(1c), it is possible to prepare inventive compounds of the formula XL by palladium-catalysed reaction of XXIa with cyclic sulphonamides with a free NH group, of the formula XXXIX, in which p represents a number 1, 2, 3 or 4, so that the ring system has 5 to 8 ring members (Org. Lett. 2011, 2564).

in which X, A, R^(1b), R^(1c), R², R³, R⁴ and R⁵ have the meanings given in the general formula (I), and Hal represents fluorine, chlorine or bromine, and which may be used with preference for preparing the compounds of the general formula (I).

Preparation of the intermediates EXAMPLE 1A 2,2-Dimethyl-5-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

25.4 g (134 mmol) of 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde (CAS [659-28-9]), 19.3 g (134 mmol) of Meldrum's acid (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, CAS [2033-24-1]) and 1.93 g (13.4 mmol) of piperidinium acetate (CAS [4540-33-4]) were dissolved in 500 ml of ethanol and stirred at RT for 30 min. The reaction solution was cooled to 0° C. using an ice bath and stirred for a further 10 min. 12.6 g (200 mmol) of sodium cyanoborhydride were introduced a little at a time, and the reaction was then allowed to warm to RT and stirred for a further 1.5 h. 250 ml of 2M hydrochloric acid were then added carefully and stirring was continued until the evolution of gas had ceased completely (about 30 min) The ethanol was removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue was taken up in 2M hydrochloric acid and extracted repeatedly with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried with sodium sulphate and the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. This gave 32.7 g (41% of theory) of crude product as a white solid which was reacted without further purification.

LCMS (Method 1): R_(t)=1.33 min; m/z=319 (M+H)⁺

EXAMPLE 2A 5-(4-Bromobenzyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

The compound was prepared analogously to Example 1A from 25.0 g (135 mmol) of 4-bromobenzaldehyde, 19.4 g (135 mmol) of Meldrum's acid, 1.95 g (13.5 mmol) of piperidinium acetate and 12.7 g (202 mmol) of sodium cyanoborohydride. This gave 27.1 g (64% of theory) of the desired product which was reacted further without purification.

LCMS (Method 2): R_(t)=1.23 min; m/z=313, 315 (Br isotope pattern, M+H)⁺

EXAMPLE 3A 5-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

30.0 g (220 mmol) of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde were initially charged in 500 ml of water, and 33.3 g (231 mmol) of Meldrum's acid were suspended therein. The mixture was stirred mechanically at an internal temperature of 75° C. for 2 h. During this time, the yellowish emulsion turned into a yellow suspension. After cooling, the reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and the extracts were dried with magnesium sulphate. This dichloromethane solution of the intermediate 5-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (¹H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃): δ=1.78 (s, 6H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 6.98 (d, 2H), 8.23 (d, 2H), 8.37 (s, 1H)) was directly processed further. The solution (800 ml) was cooled to −3° C., and 110 ml of acetic acid were added. 20.8 g (155 mmol) of sodium borohydride were then introduced a little at a time over a period of 60 min (temperature at most 2° C.). The suspension formed was stirred at RT for another 15 min. The reaction mixture was quenched by careful dropwise addition of 300 ml of water and stirred at RT for another about 30 min. The phases were separated and the organic phase washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and water and dried with magnesium sulphate. The solvents were removed on a rotary evaporator. This gave 46.60 g (80% of theory) of the desired product as a yellowish oil which crystallized to give a slightly yellow solid and did not require any further purification.

¹H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃): δ=1.48 (s, 3H), 1.72 (s, 3H), 3.44 (d, 2H), 3.72 (t, 1H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 6.82 (d, 2H), 7.24 (d, 2H).

EXAMPLE 4A 2,2,5-Trimethyl-5-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

At RT, 32.7 g (103 mmol) of 2,2-dimethyl-5-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Example 1A) and 21.3 g (154 mmol) of potassium carbonate were initially charged in 400 ml of DMF, and 72.9 g (514 mmol, 32.0 ml) of iodomethane were slowly added dropwise. The mixture was stirred vigorously at RT for 1.5 h and then added to water. The mixture was extracted 3× with ethyl acetate and the combined organic phases were washed with sat. sodium chloride solution and dried with sodium sulphate. The solvents were removed on a rotary evaporator and the crude product (32.5 g colourless oil) was purified by flash chromatography (SiO₂, hexane/ethyl acetate). This gave 20.0 g (55% of theory) of the desired product as a colourless oil.

¹H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆): δ=0.99 (s, 3H), 1.57 (s, 3H), 1.63 (s, 3H), 3.22 (s, 2H), 7.12 (d, 2H), 7.31 (d, 2H).

EXAMPLE 5A 5-(4-Bromobenzyl)-2,2,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

The compound was prepared analogously to Example 4A from 7.37 g (23.5 mmol) of 5-(4-bromobenzyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Example 2A), 16.7 g (118 mmol) of iodomethane and 4.88 g (35.3 mmol) of potassium carbonate. This gave 8 g of crude product which was directly reacted further.

¹H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃): δ=1.06 (s, 3H), 1.62 (s, 3H), 1.74 (s, 3H), 3.28 (s, 2H), 7.05 (d, 2H), 7.40 (s, 2H).

EXAMPLE 6A 5-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-2,2,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

548 g (2.08 mol) of 5-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Example 3A) were initially charged in 3000 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide, and 295 g (2.08 mol) of iodomethane were added dropwise with stirring at RT. Using an ice bath, the solution was cooled to an internal temperature of about 15° C., and 231 g (2.28 mol) of triethylamine were added dropwise over a period of 30 min (internal temperature 15-22° C.). The mixture was stirred in the ice bath for 30 min and at RT for another 3 h. The mixture was added to dilute sodium chloride solution (2 portions of in each case 12 l water and in each case 500 g of sodium chloride) and extracted with methyl tert-butyl ether. The organic phases were combined, washed with semisaturated sodium chloride solution and dried with magnesium sulphate.

It was worked up by adding 300 ml of cooled, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the organic phase was separated off. The aqueous phase was extracted three times with ethyl acetate and the combined organic phases were washed once with water and once with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. Drying using sodium sulphate and removal of the solvent gave 21.53 g of product (64% of theory), which was further reacted directly.

Preparation of the compounds of the general formula I according to the invention

EXAMPLE 1 (±)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-N,4-dimethyl-8-(trifluoromethoxy)-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide

145 mg (3.64 mmol) of sodium hydroxide were dissolved in 8.7 ml of water, and a solution of 860 mg (2.42 mmol) of (±)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-8-(trifluoromethoxy)-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine (Example 35A) in 35 ml of ethyl acetate was added at 0° C. After 20 min of stirring at 0° C., 877 mg (7.27 mmol, 0.80 ml) of isopropenyl chloroformate (CAS [57933-83-2]) were added, and the mixture was stirred vigorously at 0° C. for 2.5 h. The phases were then separated, and the organic phase was dried with sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in 35 ml of THF, and 2 mg (0.02 mmol) of 1-methylpyrrolidine and 6.1 ml (12.1 mmol) of a 2M solution of methylamine in THF were added. In a sealed pressure tube, the reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for a total of 10 h. After 5 h, the reaction was interrupted, the mixture was cooled and a further 6.1 ml of methylamine solution were added and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for another 5 h. At RT, the mixture was then partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with sat. sodium chloride solution and dried with sodium sulphate, and the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO₂, hexane/ethyl acetate). This gave 540 mg (54% of theory) of the desired product as a yellow oil which, after concentration from dichloromethane, was obtained as a solid foam. Also isolated were 428 mg (36% of theory) of the intermediate isopropenyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-8-(trifluoromethoxy)-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate.

Alternative Process for Preparing Example 7 (±)-7,8-Dimethoxy-N,4-dimethyl-1-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide

Under argon, 100 mg (231 μmol) of (±)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-7,8-dimethoxy-N,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide (Example 49A) were initially charged in 5 ml of degassed toluene. 22 μl (22 mg, 254 μmol) of morpholine, 31 mg (324 μmol) of sodium tert-butoxide and 9 mg (12 μmol) of chloro-(2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,1-biphenyl) [2-(2-amino-1,1-biphenyl)]palladium(II) (CAS [1310584-14-5]) were added. The mixture was degassed again, saturated with argon and then stirred at 110° C. for 6 hours. After cooling, the mixture was partitioned between 15 ml of sat. sodium bicarbonate solution and 15 ml of ethyl acetate, and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases were washed with water and sat. sodium chloride solution and dried with sodium sulphate. The solvents were removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue (156 mg yellow oil) was purified by flash chromatography (SiO₂, hexane/ethyl acetate). This gave 87 mg (86% of theory) of the desired product as a yellow solid.

EXAMPLE 127.1 (4S)-7,8-Dimethoxy-N,4-dimethyl-1-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide

Under argon, 1.30 g (3.01 mmol) of (4S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-7,8-dimethoxy-N,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide (Example 49.2A) were initially charged in 65 ml of degassed toluene. 0.37 ml (331 mg, 3.31 mmol) of 1-methylpiperazine, 405 mg (4.21 mmol) of sodium tert-butoxide and 118 mg (0.15 mmol) of chloro-(2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,1-biphenyl) [2-(2-amino-1,1-biphenyl)]palladium(II) (CAS [1310584-14-5]) were added. The mixture was degassed again, saturated with argon and then stirred at 80° C. for 12 hours. After cooling, the mixture was added to sat. sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with sat. sodium chloride solution and dried with sodium sulphate. The solvents were removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue (1.5 g orange foam) was purified by flash chromatography (SiO₂, dichloromethane/methanol 0-3-10%). This gave 850 mg (63% of theory) of the desired product as a yellow solid.

For this purpose, use was made of a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay which measured binding between N-terminally His₆-tagged BRD4 (BD 1) (amino acids 67-152, with relatively long constructs also being possible, preferably amino acids 44-168) and a synthetic acetylated histone H4 (Ac-H4) peptide having the sequence GRGK(Ac)GGK(Ac)GLGK(Ac)GGAK(Ac)RHGSGSK-biotin. The recombinant BRD4 protein—produced according to Filippakopoulos et al., Cell, 2012, 149: 214-231—was expressed in E. coli and purified by (Ni-NTA) affinity and (Sephadex G-75) size exclusion chromatography. The Ac-H4 peptide is commercially available, for example from Biosyntan (Berlin, Germany). In a typical assay, 11 different concentrations of each substance (0.1 nM, 0.33 nM, 1.1 nM, 3.8 nM, 13 nM, 44 nM, 0.15 μM, 0.51 μM, 1.7 μM, 5.9 μM and 20 μM) were measured in duplicate on the same microtitre plate. To this end, 100-fold concentrated solutions in DMSO were prepared by serial dilution (1:3.4) of a 2 mM stock solution in a clear 384-well microtitre platte (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany) 50 nl of these were transferred into a black test plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). The test was started by addition of 2 μl of a 2.5-fold concentrated BRD4 solution (final concentration usually 10 nM in the 5 ml of the reaction volume) in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM HEPES pH 7.5. 50 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 0.25 mM CHAPS and 0.05% serum albumin (BSA)] to the substances in the test plate. This was followed by a 10-minute incubation step at 22° C. to pre-equilibrate putative complexes between BRD4 and the substances. This was followed by the addition of 3 μl of a 1.67-fold concentrated solution (in the assay buffer) consisting of Ac-H4 peptide (83.5 nM) and TR-FRET detection reagents [16.7 nM anti-6His-XL665 and 3.34 nM streptavidin cryptate (both from Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France), and 668 mM potassium fluoride (KF)].

The mixture was then incubated in the dark for one hour at 22° C. and then for at least 3 hours and at most overnight at 4° C. Formation of BRD4/Ac-H4 complexes was determined by measuring the resonance energy transfer from the streptavidin-Eu cryptate to the anti-6His-XL665 antibody in the reaction. To this end, the fluorescence emission was measured at 620 nm and 665 nm after excitation at 330-350 nm in a TR-FRET measuring device, for example a Rubystar or Pherastar (both from BMG Lab Technologies, Offenburg, Germany) or a Viewlux (Perkin-Elmer). The ratio of the emission at 665 nm and at 622 nm was used as an indicator for the amount of BRD4/Ac-H4 complexes formed.

The data obtained (ratios) were normalized, with 0% inhibition corresponding to the mean of the measured values of a set of controls (usually 32 data points) comprising all reagents. Here, 50 nl of DMSO (100%) were used instead of test substances. An inhibition of 100% corresponded to the mean of the measured values of a set of controls (usually 32 data points) comprising all reagents except for BRD4. The IC₅₀ was determined by regression analysis based on a 4-parameter equation (minimum, maximum, IC₅₀, Hill; Y=Max+(Min−Max)/(1+(X/IC 50)^(Hill))).

1.2 Cell Assays Cell Proliferation Assays

In accordance with the invention, the capability of the substances to inhibit cell proliferation was determined Cell viability was determined using the alamarBlue® reagent (Invitrogen) in a Victor X3 Multilabel Reader (Perkin Elmer). The excitation wavelength was 530 nm and the emission wavelenth 590 nM.

The MOLM-13 cells (DSMZ, ACC 554) were sown at a concentration of 4000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (RPMI1640, 10% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

The MV4-11 cells (ATCC, CRL 9591) were sown at a concentration of 5000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (RPMI1640, 10% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

The B16F10 cells (ATCC, CRL-6475) were sown at a concentration of 300-500 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (DMEM with phenol red, 10% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

The LOX-IMVI cells (NCI-60) were sown at a concentration of 1000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (RPMI1640, 10% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

The MOLP-8 cells (DSMZ, ACC 569) were sown at a concentration of 4000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (RPMI1640, 20% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

The KMS-12-PE cells (DSMZ, ACC 606) were sown at a concentration of 4000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (RPMI1640, 20% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

The LAPC-4 cells (ATCC, PTA-1441TM) were sown at a concentration of 4000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (RPMI1640, 2 mM L-glutamine, 10% cFCS) on 96-well microtitre plates. A day later, the LAPC-4 cells were treated with 1 nM methyltrienolone and various substance dilutions.

The MDA-MB-231 cells (DSMZ, ACC 732) were sown at a concentration of 4000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (DMEM/Ham's F12 medium, 10% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates. The Caov-3 cells (ATCC, HTB-75) were sown at a concentration of 2000 cells/well in 100 μl growth medium (MEM Earle's medium, 10% FCS) on 96-well microtitre plates.

After an overnight incubation at 37° C., the fluorescence values (CI values) were determined. The plates were then treated with various substance dilutions (1E-5 M, 3E-6 M, 1E-6M, 3E-7 M, 1E-7 M, 3E-8 M, 1E-8 M) and incubated at 37° C. for 72 (MV4-11-, LOX-IMVI cells), 96 (MOLM-13-, B16F10-, MDA-MB-431-, Caov-3 cells), 120 (MOLP-8-, KMS-12-PE cells) or 168 (LAPC-4 cells) hours. The fluorescence values (CO values) were then determined. For the data analysis, the CI values were subtracted from the CO values and the results were compared between cells treated with different dilutions of the substance or with buffer solution only. These were used to calculate the IC 50 values (substance concentration required for 50% inhibition of cell proliferation).

The substances were tested in the cell lines of Table 1 which represent, in an exemplary manner, the given indications:
